I have only two of the Marvel figures, but I do much prefer their engineering over the Star Wars crossover line. How does that even happen? They're from the same company; can't they manage to succeed on both fronts?

Different design teams. The Star Wars ones are developed by the Star Wars team, and I think the Marvel ones are by "Galoob". The Star Wars ones have to fit within the design constraints of pre-existing vehicles, so there is that handicap.

But yeah, the Marvel ones are of much higher build quality. I'd probably have bought more, but way too many Spider/Iron Man figs. I'm really eager to see how Ghost Rider turns out, though.

Tank Hulk is easily one of my favourite TF toys ever, though, Crossover or not. Wolverine is also pretty damned good, and Human Torch is at least very interesting, if flawed.

I think the most SW TFs have ever reached on that scale is "passable".

I still want to find Thor, even with his awesomely bad alt colors. Wolverine is pretty cool, but I really like Capt. America. I'm not even sure why, what with his dopey arms. But I find him to be very fun.

The Star Wars ones were the only crossovers that got me to bite. The Vader Death Star is amazing. The falcon is fairly cool especially that alt mode.Small Vader Tie Fighter and Boba Fett Slave one are cool ships w/ poor bot modes. I always look but usually pass on them now.
